Mathematics - Year 11
Throughout the year, pupils will be exploring and developing a range of mathematical skills and applications. This will include number, algebra,shape and space and handling data. Pupils will develop their problem solving skills by applying their knowledge of mathematical concepts to questions based on real life situations.

Homework
Homework issued weekly. Homework consisting of exam based questions, consolidation and extended learning. Online homework via My Maths or Maths Watch can be used where appropriate.
Additional Support:
Pupils will be given regular tests. Intervention sessions will then be set up according to GAP analysis from formal end of term exams.
Extra-curricular/Enrichment:
Intervention groups after school on Mondaysrun every week.
Help is available to students at lunch time should they need help with their homework or exam papers.
